China-Based Fundraiser Linked to Illegal Foreign Donations

New GAI study suggests Obama donor funneling foreign funds to Obama campaign

A prominent Democratic donor with ties to the Red Chinese government may be implicated in the Obama campaign’s flouting of federal campaign finance law, according to a bombshell investigative report.

The groundbreaking new study, authored by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), highlights the “curious case” of Obama.com, a website previously, and possibly still, owned by Obama campaign bundler and frequent White House visitor Robert W. Roche.

The website—which is not one of the hundreds of different domain names owned by the Obama campaign—is examined at length in the report as a major potential gateway for illegal foreign donations to the campaign.

Visitors to the site, more than two-thirds of which are located outside the United States, are redirected to the Obama campaign’s main donation page at barackobama.com.

The GAI investigation found numerous links to Obama.com on foreign blog sites and forum boards, links that “increase the probability that foreign nationals will try to donate to the Obama campaign.” Furthermore, the GAI discovered that search engine optimization (SEO) techniques were employed at some point in order to generate foreign traffic to Obama.com.

Federal election law prohibits campaigns from knowingly accepting or soliciting donations from foreign nationals.

The GAI report cited Obama.com’s existence and the unusually lax online security measures on the Obama campaign’s donation page as evidence the campaign may be breaking the law. At the very least, these two factors indicated the need for further investigation.

Roche, who has raised nearly $850,000 for Obama since 2007, registered the domain in September 2008. It is unclear if Roche still owns the site, however, as it switched to an anonymous registration in October 2010.

Following Obama’s victory in November 2008, Obama.com began redirecting visitors to a page selling inauguration merchandise and soliciting donations for the inauguration celebration. Roche personally donated $50,000, the maximum allowable amount.

He has contributed more than $375,000 to Democratic campaigns and committees since 2007,and at least $100,000 to the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA, which notably ran an ad suggesting that Obama’s opponent Mitt Romney was responsible for a Missouri woman’s death from cancer.

At some point in 2012, the webpage began directing visitors to a donation page on the Obama campaign’s website.

The campaign website, meanwhile, is able to monitor traffic and donations coming from Obama.com using a unique tracking number.
